Malaysia. Tiger Beer is awful.

I'm thinking anywhere in the middle east that's a primarily Muslim country would be worse.
In most of the middle east it is hard to find any kind of beer. Jebel Ali, Dubai, and Birane do have some exceptions. Mostly in large western owned hotels and a British pub in the Jebel Ali free trade zone.
Well as it turns out it WAS the worst beer destination.
My choices at the resort were Dos Equis, Coors Light, Tecate(light), and Sol.
The worst part however is that I got a stomach bug that has prevented me from drinking beer since I have returned. I'm now going on almost 2 weeks of not drinking real beer. So its such a bad beer destination that its robbing me of good beer even after Ive left.
The Caribbean is pretty bad and I've had some stuff in SE Asia that would remove paint. Brahma in Brazil isn't bad. Most other places you can get good beers if the locals aren't any good.
Egypt. Also the worst wine anywhere. Ugh
Probably a good idea, since the ice they put in your beverage, probably comes from the water they tell you not to drink.
Never been to Mexico, so I don't know how the water thing plays out at the resorts, but have been to Aruba a couple of times. That's a BMC heaven, with Amstel light, Heineken and the local Brew Balashi (tasted like a cross between amstel and heineken) The good thing is, when you are sitting on the beach, watching the sun set, smoking a cigar and having a drink, even a Miller Lite tastes good. But yeah, in Mexico, I'd probably go the Negro Modelo route.
As far as developed nations go, Italy is one of the worst as far as beer goes. Nothing but garbage Italian Peroni and quasi-Peroni were available at apres ski areas, and the selection was also pretty terrible in the marketplace. Food was amazing and the wine was great, but damn if I've never craved a BMC beer so badly.
I had a bottle of Sol after spending a few hours clambering over Mayan pyramids and thought it was the best thing I'd ever tasted. I spent a long time hunting for Sol after returning to the States. When I finally found it, I was amazed at just how weak and bland it really was.
I think beer is really, really local. It tastes good in place, but often not so good out of place. Pilsner Urquell from a tank in Prague is ambrosia, yet almost undrinkable from a tap in the USofA.

Poor me.
I'm going on an all inclusive cruise to the Bahamas this weekend and will be stuck drinking beer all weekend.
Sigh....
